Booth -
        What he's talking about is the amount of memory being used by the 
application when it's running.  In Win2k (dunno about the others), you can 
take a look at Task Manager (CTRL-SHIFT-ESC), see the running processes, 
sort them by Mem Usage and voila!  You get to see who the memory-hungry 
apps are.  On my system (with 384Mb), ICT runs at 27.7 Mb.  The most of 
any other app.  In fact, more than the next two put together.  

        In short, it's a HOG!
